One was Photoshopped tearing up the Constitution a falsehood and criticized for wearing a flag that represented her Cuban heritage.
A conservative blog said that another wasnt even at the school during the killings then had to backtrack on Monday when that also proved false.
The attacks on the teenage survivors of the shooting in Parkland, Fla., have been fierce from the beginning, and have only continued since the students helped spearhead hundreds of protests this weekend.
Two of the most vocal survivors, Emma González, 18, and David Hogg, 17, have been targets of a disproportionate amount of vitriol.
In an interview Tuesday, Mr. Hogg said they had been singled out because of their prominence and emphasized that ad hominem attacks would not end school shootings.
I mean, were kind of the faces of the movement, he said. Together we kind of form an unstoppable force that terrifies them.
He added that he and Ms. González were being attacked because they know were strong.

(14,167 posts)I saw some vicious comments on Mr. Hogg's YouTube page and I alerted on many of them.
It breaks my heart to see how these kids have been attacked... especially González and Hogg. However, I am reassured that they are some TOUGH kids who are willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary in pursuit of their (and OUR) goals.
